I think a lot of it is the return to the 60mg Prednisone level for the last three weeks. It is like the opposite of chronic fatigue for me. The preds make me feel stronger and more motivated. They make me want to do things again, like photography.

I am aware of my limitations, though. Off-Shore fishing is out of the question, but I wish I could join my friends on the water this week. The Monterrey Bay is not a friendly body of water. It is windy, overcast, and has rough waters. It takes a lot of energy and muscle control just to maintain one's position in the boat, let along reeling in a 10 to 40 pound Salmon or Tuna.
